SEASON 2 - Weekly Game Challenge #6 - Scramble!

One day I will make it to the second level.

I still love Scramble, great to watch the competition between you guys.
 
My final score....

Congrats to Torin!

I asked on the Hangout last night if this was the last game of Season 2.....but I don't recall anyone actually answered (lol), so I guess I'll call this end of Season 2! :D

We can do 6 games per season (which I think was discussed originally), then maybe do another week for finals which includes all 6?

There will be weeks that fall on a Holiday weekend or stuff like GF5 in October - so those could possibly be extended to a 2 week challenge. It just happened to be that Season 1 finals fell on a 2 week span.

Frizzy made a suggestion that possibly we consider for the season finals that we only play each game once, and that is the score submitted. Obviously this is all on the honor system, so up to everyone doing this to agree and stick to rules. I brought this up with the group last night as well, Carrie commented that usually need at least one game to 'warm up' - which I think most of us agreed on that point...so my suggestion is limit to only 3 attempts at your best score for each game.

Does that sound okay with you all?

Any other input/suggestions?

It would be great if everyone on that Leaderboard above could chime in. Again, just having fun here - and don't want to drive anyone way...let's get more people involved if we can :)

I'll start the 'Season 2 Finals' once others chime in....or maybe Griffin can hop back on the saddle so to speak, and take this back over ;) :D

I don't play the games more than a handful of times anyway. Especially if we're going 2 weeks on the finale, why would we limit ourselves to 1 play? Part of the fun is striving to improve within the time given. Just my .02

This.

I play to and get better. Some of these games I've never even played before and need the practice just to submit a somewhat decent score.

I like the ability to submit multiple scores but will go with whatever the group decides. I just like the fun of it all.

Good point :)

Although, not sure if 2 weeks is preferred for finals. As mentioned, Season 1 finals just happened to fall over the 4th of July week, so we pushed it to 2 weeks. I'm cool with doing 2 week finals if you want - just thought maybe people might want to move onto new games so keep it to 1 week.

As for number of attempts - maybe that can be up to the individual for their own bragging rights LOL. I know there have been games I don't mind not playing again for a while (ahem\Amidar/ahem) :D

Hey now... Pengo was worse.

:)

My suggestion was essentially a "1 coin challenge". I also mentioned that maybe make it a "1 dollar" challenge. I figured we got to play each game each week to our hearts content... lets do something different for the "finale"...
 
Oh no, Pengo is frustrating as hell for sure, but something about it keeps me going back, even after 30 years! Amidar...well hell, that game just blows goats! BUT, I never would have played it if it weren't for the tourney. I'm really enjoying these, when I get the time to play!

I like the wrap-up round of the seasons. I'm for not limiting the number of attempts, but agree that bragging rights for those who nail it in the fewest!
 
This season finale would fall over Labor Day weekend if we went two weeks....

Another good point which I missed! LOL

Okay - so let's just keep this at 2 weeks I guess, and each player can limit game play to whatever bragging rights they like. I'm sure a couple of you will only need 1 or 2 attempts to get top place anyway haha.

I'll set up tourney soon and link her when its ready :)

Do we even need finals or seasons? If someone doesn't have the capability to play one of the six games they can't participate. I would prefer to just pick a new game every week.

I like playing multiple games in a tournament once in a while - Grinkfest style. Adds some variety to scoring as there is some variance in which games people are good at.

Would just like to get good participation.

It is hard to keep everyone happy :)

We had also discussed previously that sometimes people didn't get a chance to play one of the weekly games, so the 'finals' give them a 2nd chance.

Okay - so I have started new thread here:

Now gotta see if I can actually get chance to play them all :D

Woot!
